The officials said that the crowd stormed the police station in the southern town of Garga in protest at what they said was the police's failure to protect them from attacks from a neighboring village.
They seized the weapons to defend themselves, the official said.
A third man died on Monday from his injuries.
The military, in charge since a revolt ousted president Hosni Mubarak in February, sent soldiers into the town to reinforce police there, the officials said, and had begun collecting weapons seized from the police station.
Police, who were widely attacked during the January and February revolt, have gradually begun returning to the streets as the military tries to hand over policing duties.
